I am impressed with the Harry has no soul idea. It could take the  
story in
a very interesting direction. I give it long odds ...

One of the themes of the HP books is that we have a
choice in this matter. I'm not sure I see a way to make soulless Harry
compatible with that.

doug:

I have always held one idea - among many -  and that is that Harry as  
a baby was killed and inherited a fragment of Voldy's soul. It would  
be a very whole and complete soul for a baby body.... and held and  
transformed by a mothers love sacrifice, it would be pure.

No soul or soul fragment in and of itself is inherently evil. It's a  
matter of choices as to which way it goes.

One of the powerful underlying idea in the lad's 'New Voldemort/ 
Harry' theory seems to be an unarticulated but fairly complete  
understanding of Jung and the shadow self - which must be understood  
and accepted for a person to be complete.

So, if in the final confrontation, Voldy and Harry are down each to  
one last piece of soul each... there will be a choice, even in a  
Christian kind of model of acceptance and forgiveness, Love forgiving  
all kind of thing and the power for Harry to accept what he actually  
is, and to take that last bit of Voldemorts soul, held by Voldy, into  
himself.

Just one idea...
